Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 2 pounds lean ground beef or lean ground turkey
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¾ cups pineapple juice reserved from pineapple tidbits - use water to make up the difference if you don't have enough reserved juice
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 (14-ounce) (14-ounce) can pineapple tidbits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the meatballs by combining all meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into about 1” meatballs.
- Brown Meatballs in a non-stick frying pan and drain on paper towels (or if you want to save time brown in the oven on a cookie sheet while you’re making the sauce).
- Make the sauce by combining cornstarch and brown sugar in a sauce pan. Then add 1 ¾ cup pineapple juice and blend until the mixture is smooth. Add vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and stir. Simmer uncovered on medium low until thickened (about 8 minutes - mine only took about 4 minutes to thicken).
- In a casserole dish pour sauce over meatballs and add pineapple tidbits. Lightly mix meatballs until they are coated with the sauce. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until fully cooked.
